The Architectural Research Centers Consortium (ARCC) New Researcher Award celebrates the activities, accomplishments and promise of scholars in the early stages of their research careers. ARCC is fundamentally concerned with promoting excellence in research, scholarship, and creative endeavor in architecture and related disciplines. The ARCC New Researcher Award is intended to acknowledge and reward emerging figures in architectural and environmental design research that demonstrate innovation in thinking, dedication in scholarship, contributions to the academy, and leadership within architectural and environmental design research.
ARCC defines ‘architectural research’ broadly and inclusively across a range of domains in support of advancing knowledge of the built environment.
One nomination per year is invited from each ARCC member institution. Criteria for selection of nominees will be at the discretion of the member school. All nominees must be in a full-time tenure-track position, have clearly demonstrated outstanding performance in their scholarship, and hold rich promise for future contributions to architectural and environmental design research. The ARCC Board of Directors will render final decisions on the conferral of these awards.
The recipient of the New Researcher Award receives up to $1500 reimbursement to present their research at an ARCC Conference.
